hello. my name is Tania and I'm an instagram addict.
Recently, I changed up my writing studio. I cleaned it out and made it more streamlined and workable and prettier. My lovely friend Posie gave me some little corkboards and I collected a few other bits and bobs and I loved it - but there just seemed to be something missing.
I stumbled across the amazing Paislee Press recently and fell in love with her templates and stunning calendar design options for photos. So I used the templates {you do need to have photoshop or Adobe Illustrator or some other design software} to create this beautiful calendar {just 5 x 7" prints} for 2013, using instagram photos. I absolutely love it.
I then decided to print off a whole heap of my instagram photos to decorate my studio walls. I love the Polaroid look but do NOT like the price, so all I did was create an Adobe Illustrator file {if you don't have design software, you simple MUST invest in it} and created a document to the 4 x 6" ratio {ie: the regular 10c photo size}. Within that document, I pasted square instagram images then centred them towards the top of the page, so you have an even border around the top and sides, then a larger border down below {ie: polaroid!}.
I cut and pasted around 200 IG photos into this template and 'exported' them to jpeg files. I then went to the good people at Harvey Norman and had the jpegs printed as regular 4 x 6" photos. The entire thing cost $20.
With a little blu-tac and a lot of patience, I've tacked around 150 photos to the wall - with more to spare for other spots. I'm in the midst of revamping a gorgeous Salvos find {a hutch}, so will post on that soon. I do plan to add photos to it - can't wait to show you.
So this - above - is what I get to look at every day. I could not be happier. It's love. Are you doing something special to your workspace?

Yes! You can do it in any design software - even paintbox.
